About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back and love to enjoy life. I would regard myself as easy to get along with and mix well with a wide range of crowds. I really enjoy meeting new people and seeing new places.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as honest as you can. You get out of it what you put in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently on a no plans only ideas around the world adventure. My current mission is to go from the USA to Cabo de Hornos en Chile! I'm making a stop in the Caribbean to see friends in Puerto Rico and check out the Dominican Republic and Cuba. After that I head to Colombia and will travel by land to the furthest south tip of South America!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living in Austin, Texas I hosted a handful of wonderful folks. Then while traveling through Europe last year I did a little bit of surfing including staying with a couple of the surfers I hosted in Austin!

Interests

I love rock climbing. It took over my life a couple years ago and I don't see it going anywhere. I would also consider myself a little bit of a foodie, I love getting out and trying new eats. I'm also a hobbiest photographer and hope that during my travels I can become good enough to earn a living from it!
